Volunteer with Boomtown directly

Boomtown run their own volunteer scheme directly from their own website. Like most of the volunteering firms below, it’ll require three 8 hour shifts and a £280 deposit, which will be refunded within a month after the festival.

You’ll get acess to the crew bar and entertainment, which promises the cheapest pints available on site. You’ll also get a meal voucher per shift worked, and access to a secure dedicated campsite, only a short walk from the car park. Volunteers also get hot showers, and better toilets than offered to the general public.

The volunteer welfare facility is a great place to make new friends, chill out, enjoy free hot drinks, and charge your phone. Most people find the shifts enjoyable, so with all the aforementioned perks, it’s easy to see why most volunteers keep coming back again and again.
